Excerpt from History of England, Vol. 2 of 2: Under the Anglo-Saxon Kings

At this time the great synod was held at Clovesho, after which it appears that Beornwulf led a powerful army against the East Angles, with the design of punishing them for their submission to Ecgberht, and replacing them under the supremacy of Mercia. Beornwulf was defeated and fell in a battle between the two nations. A similar fate attended his kinsman and successor Ludeca,2 who, to avenge the death Of his pre decessor, had invaded the territory Of the East Angles.
